Śuka’s Guṇa-Transcendence and Vyāsa’s Consolation (शुकगति-वर्णनम्)
Devanagari script
न चैषामत्ययो राजन् लक्ष्यते प्रभवो न च । अवस्थायामवस्थायां दीपस्येवार्चिषो गति:
Translation
Wahai Raja, lenyapnya daya-daya itu tidak tampak, dan munculnya pun tidak tampak. Dari keadaan ke keadaan, geraknya bagaikan nyala pelita—setiap saat padam dan lahir kembali, namun tidak tertangkap oleh pandangan.
